In 2020, a record number of eighty million people were categorized as displaced
migrants, because of social and economic hardship, oppression, violence and climate
change. Migration whether forced or elective impacts every sector of society including
business, social welfare, education and faith communities. With its strategic location in
the heart of southeast Asia and its open economy, the Kingdom of Thailand has been a
transit point and destination for hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers from more than
forty countries and millions of migrant workers. Thailand has more than 91,000 refugees
from Myanmar living in border camps and an estimated 5,000 urban refugees and asylum
seekers in metropolitan areas. Christ Church Bangkok has functioned as the body of
Christ ministering to the refugee and asylee population in Bangkok as well as being a
place for refugees and asylum seekers to engage in discipleship and ministry to others.
